Bruce Springsteen – Long Walk Home – Testo lyrics video traduzione

TestoLong Walk Home
Last night I stood at your doorstep
Trying to figure out what went wrong
You just slipped something into my palm then you were gone
It was the same deep green of summer
‘Bove me the same night sky was glowin’
In the distance I could see the town where I was born

It’s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
A long walk home

In town I passed Sal’s grocery
The barber shop on South Street
I looked into the faces
They were all rank strangers to me*
Veteran’s Hall high up on the hill
Stood silent and alone
The diner was shuttered and boarded
With a sign that just said “GONE”

It’s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
It’s gonna be a long walk home

Here everybody has a neighbor
Everybody has a friend
Everybody has a reason
To begin again

My father said “Son, we’re lucky in this town
It’s a beautiful place to be born.
It just wraps its arms around you,
Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone”

The old flag flyin over the courthouse?
It means certain things are set in stone.
“Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t”

Well it’s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
It’s gonna be a long walk home
It’s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
It’s gonna be a long walk home
It’s gonna be a long walk home

Here everybody has a neighbor
Everybody has a friend
Everybody has a reason to begin again

[harmonica bridge]

Now the water’s rising round the corner**
There’s a fire burning out of control
There’s a hurricane on Main Street
And I’ve got murder in my soul

Yeah well when the party’s over
And the cheering is all gone
Will you know me, will I know you
Will I know you

‘Cause it’s gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me
It’s gonna be a long walk home
